RAILROAD RETIREMENT BOARD
Proposed Collection; Comment
Request
Summary: In accordance with the
requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
which provides opportunity for public
comment on new or revised data
collections, the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) will publish periodic
summaries of proposed data collections.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the proposed information collection is
necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including
whether the information has practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the RRB’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of the information; (c) ways to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden related to
the collection of information on
respondents, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Title and purpose of information
collection: Vocational Report; OMB
3220–0141. Under Section 2 of the
Railroad Retirement Act (RRA) (45
U.S.C. 231a) provides for payment of
disability annuities to qualified
employees and widow(er)s. The
establishment of permanent disability
for work in the applicant’s ‘‘regular
occupation’’ or for work in any regular
employment is prescribed in 20 CFR
220.12 and 220.13, respectively.
To enable the Railroad Retirement
Board (RRB) to determine the effect of
a disability on an applicant’s ability to
work, the RRB needs the applicant’s
work history. The RRB utilizes Form G–
251, Vocational Report, to obtain this
information.
Form G–251 is provided to all
applicants for employee disability
annuities and to those applicants for a
widow(er)’s disability annuity who
indicate that they have been employed
at some time. Form G–251 is designed
for use with the RRB’s disability benefit
application forms. Form G–251 is
similar to Form SSA–3369–BK, OMB
0960–0578. The RRB proposes the no
changes to the Form G–251.

Section 19(b)(2) of the Act 9 provides
that, after initiating disapproval
proceedings, the Commission shall issue
an order approving or disapproving the
proposed rule change not later than 180
days after the date of publication of
notice of filing of the proposed rule
change. The Commission may extend
the period for issuing an order
approving or disapproving the proposed
rule change, however, by not more than
60 days if the Commission determines
that a longer period is appropriate and
publishes the reasons for such
determination. The proposed rule
change was published for notice and
comment in the Federal Register on
August 7, 2019. February 3, 2020 is 180
days from that date, and April 3, 2020
is 240 days from that date.
The Commission finds it appropriate
to designate a longer period within

Rule 22e–4.
Notice is hereby given that, under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501–3520), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the
‘‘Commission’’) is soliciting comments

summarized below. The Commission

of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension
and approval.
Section 22(e) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 (‘‘Investment
Company Act’’) provides that no
registered investment company shall
suspend the right of redemption or
postpone the date of payment of
redemption proceeds for more than
seven days after tender of the security
absent specified unusual circumstances.
The provision was designed to prevent
funds and their investment advisers
from interfering with the redemption
rights of shareholders for improper
purposes, such as the preservation of
management fees. Although section
22(e) permits funds to postpone the date
of payment or satisfaction upon
redemption for up to seven days, it does
not permit funds to suspend the right of
redemption for any amount of time,
absent certain specified circumstances
or a Commission order.
Rule 22e–4 under the Act [17 CFR
270.22e–4] requires an open-end fund
and an exchange-traded fund that
redeems in kind (‘‘In-Kind ETF’’) to
establish a written liquidity risk
management program that is reasonably
designed to assess and manage the
fund’s or In-Kind ETF’s liquidity risk.
The rule also requires board approval
and oversight of a fund’s or In-Kind
ETF’s liquidity risk management
program and recordkeeping. Rule 22e–4
also requires a limited liquidity review,
under which a UIT’s principal
underwriter or depositor determines, on
or before the date of the initial deposit
of portfolio securities into the UIT, that
the portion of the illiquid investments
that the UIT holds or will hold at the
date of deposit that are assets is
consistent with the redeemable nature
of the securities it issues and retains a
record of such determination for the life
of the UIT and for five years thereafter.
The following estimates of average
burden hours and costs are made solely
for purposes of the Paperwork
Reduction Act and are not derived from
a comprehensive or even representative
survey or study of the cost of
Commission rules and forms.
Commission staff estimates that funds
within 846 fund complexes are subject
to rule 22e–4. Compliance with rule
22e–4 is mandatory for all such funds
and In-Kind ETFs, with certain program
elements applicable to certain funds
within a fund complex based upon
whether the fund is an In-Kind ETF or
does not primarily hold assets that are
highly liquid investments. The
Commission estimates that a fund
complex will incur a one time average
burden of 40 hours associated with
PO 00000
Frm 00092
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
documenting the liquidity risk
management programs adopted by each
fund within a fund complex, in addition
to a one time burden of 10 hours per
fund complex associated with fund
boards’ review and approval of the
funds’ liquidity risk management
programs and preparation of board
materials. We estimate that the total
burden for initial documentation and
review of funds’ written liquidity risk
management program will be 42,300
hours.
Rule 22e–4 requires any fund that
does not primarily hold assets that are
highly liquid investments to determine
a highly liquid investment minimum for
the fund, which must be reviewed at
least annually, and may not be changed
during any period of time that a fund’s
assets that are highly liquid investments
are below the determined minimum
without approval from the fund’s board
of directors. We estimate that fund
complexes will have at least one fund
that will be subject to the highly liquid
investment minimum requirement.
Thus, we estimate that 846 fund
complexes will be subject to this
requirement under rule 22e–4 and that
the total burden for preparation of the
board report associated will be 11,844
hours.
Rule 22e–4 requires a fund or In-Kind
ETF to maintain a written copy of the
policies and procedures adopted
pursuant to its liquidity risk
management program for five years in
an easily accessible place. The rule also
requires a fund to maintain copies of
materials provided to the board in
connection with its initial approval of
the liquidity risk management program
and any written reports provided to the
board, for at least five years, the first
two years in an easily accessible place.
If applicable, a fund must also maintain
a written record of how its highly liquid
investment minimum and any
adjustments to the minimum were
determined, as well as any reports to the
board regarding a shortfall in the fund’s
highly liquid investment minimum, for
five years, the first two years in an
easily accessible place. We estimate that
the total burden for recordkeeping
related to the liquidity risk management
program requirement of rule 22e–4 will
be 3,384 hours.
We estimate that the hour burdens
and time costs associated with rule 22e–
4 for open-end funds, including the
burden associated with (1) funds’ initial
documentation and review of the
required written liquidity risk
management program, (2) reporting to a
fund’s board regarding the fund’s highly
liquid investment minimum, and (3)
recordkeeping requirements will result
